Definitely not summery here tonight - low 60s and very damp. I'm rethinking dinner and envisioning a casserole with baby lima beans (happen to have 1 lb in the fridge from the weekend's bean rehydrating), sausage gimme lean, zucchini, & tomatoes. I think it could work. I'm still making the kamatsuna with tahini lemon sauce on the side though :)

Leftovers - or rather "plan overs" tonight. I did three pork steaks on the BBQ last night and extra veggies. I just cooked some spelt and dried red peppers and onions in veggie stock. I'll add chopped up veggies and add them along with the pork cut in strips to make a pilaf. That should do me three meals - one for tonight with a salad and two servings for the freezer stash! I'll have a lovely green salad with it and some fresh raspberries.

We're having our favorite Ezekial Pizza and a large, vegie friendly salad tonight.

Sunshine, I tried to locate the BBQ recipe in the threads and couldn't find it. We were thinking of bbq something one of these nights.

P.S. Anne, your meals always sound so good!

I finally had time to cook up the chard that's been languishing in the fridge, and had it with cannelini beans and shaved parmesan. I ate at Cindy's on Monday night, and got home too late last night to eat, so I was looking forward to this.
